My usual noob questions: Do I need to run Greg's tree on the host for
the necessary irqfd/eventfd suppport?
Yes (though irqfd will be merged real soon, and iosignalfd somewhat
afterwards).
Are there any examples to work from aside from Greg's unit tests?
No.
You don't really need to irqfd and iosignalfd to implement all of this,
they're just optimizations. You can still pass the eventfds around. If
you don't have irqfd, have qemu poll the eventfd, and when something
happens, inject and interrupt. Likewise, if you don't have iosignalfd,
register a pio/mmio handler for the command register, and when they fire
touch all of the relevant irqfds. You'll need that anyway for backwards
compatibility and for level-triggered pci interrupts, which irqfd
doesn't support.
